Ecoboost Display Gears
 

I just noticed today that my gears show up on the left side of my display. I went through the pictures on here and one some pics they do and some they don't. Check the real world MPG thread for pics I swear I do not remember this on the display. Anyone else notice this? or is it all in my head.

If you hit the "+" or "-" button on the shifter, they will appear. Every time you restart they will disappear. some have reported a reflash will keep them on all the time, and some later production trucks already are like that.

My new Lariat built 7/20 shows gear position all the time.

apparently there is an update to make the gears show all the time. But my dealer doesnt seem to think there is.

My XLT shows all the time.
Press + until they all show, then press + one more time.

Mine shows all the time on my XLT

after a certain build date in 2011 they show all the time.

Build date: Mar 2011

I press the + until they all show, if I've been playing with the - button. Otherwise just press the + once. If I press it one more time they all go away.

Very cool. I've wanted this display since I first got the truck.

The latest PCM calibration does make the display stay on permanently (until you turn it off), I just got it. Tell the dealer to just flash the truck anyway...

I've tried the + once and then + again, but it didn't work for me as far as staying on permanently.

What else does the flash change besides the gear shift display? Everything on my truck works fine so I am kind of leery of a flash especially if it might screw something up.

Thanks
